Self-analysis of your own identity

      The personal standpoint paper is a self-analysis of your own identity and builds on your thoughts of your cultural artifact. This paper asks you to contextual your identity, within society, your own family, and through the larger society by examining the messages you received about the identity you are discussing. You must address Race/Ethnicity, Sexual Orientation, and Social Class, for your fourth identity you may choose between: Gender/Gender Identity, Language, Ability Status, Immigration Status/Citizenship, Religion, Justice System/Incarceration. You must include a critical reflection that includes how it felt to write this paper, what felt okay and what was uncomfortable, how do these feelings possibly relate to what it may be like to be a client who interacts with a social worker, and include any final thoughts you may want to include.
